N.Korea says US military drills pose 'danger' to region
None
US and South Korean plans to start large-scale joint military drills this month pose a major danger to the region, a North Korean diplomat said on Thursday.
"The decision to hold military drills is a major danger for the security of the region," North Korean official Ri Tong-il, a member of Pyongyang's delegation at a regional security forum in Hanoi, told reporters. South Korea and the United States say the exercises scheduled from July 25 aim to deter North Korea from any future attack, after Seoul blamed Pyongyang for the sinking of a South Korean warship in March.
